155/1740) Home:  India Pale Ale by Microbrasserie L'Alchimiste of Quebec:  **;  5.5%;  the label indicates that this is a "Bière Rousse Houblonèe" (a hoppy red ale) and "Une Excellente Source de Liquide Bieruex";  unusual nose - malty with sharp Swiss Emmenthal cheese, reminiscent of Church Key's Great Gatsbeer;  dry earthy hoppiness with a bitter, astringent after taste;

I returned home feeling I didn't do so well when it came to buying beer to take back with me but as the photo would indicate, I didn't do so badly.
